Who set for 6:45 on Saturday

[StCoop]

According to Uncle Rusty on BBC Breakfast this morning post-production on POTD was only finished at 11.30 last night. Talk about cutting it close!

Also the second Special will air "November-ish".

yas!

Gonna miss RTD. I hope Moffat brings the same energy and enthusiasm that Russel did to the promotional side.

Hmm, what day does the 23rd fall on this year?

 

[roguephoenix]

I don't remember hearing anything about an Easter date for Torchwood; the most reliable-seeming rumors have said June or July.

oh wow not until then? i thought i had read that it will be an easter thing. guess i have much longer to wait. so the dr who special is definitely this sat?

 

[diankra]

I'm not, it's just that Primeval comes on first. I like both shows equally. It's the TV schedulling that needs to be changed to suit folks like me.

Treacherous though it might be, but I suspect I'll also stick with Primeval at 6.45, and catch Doctor Who on BBC3 (or the Monday repeat).
Partly, that's out of irritation with the BBC1 controller over the scheduling and the obvious attempt to try and boost Robin Hood's ratings (look at when Confidential is on, and it's obvious that BBC3 expected it to be Robin Hood then Doctor Who), so if forced into a choice I'll stick with Primeval.
But also, I have this slightly spoiler-istic feeling (check what Radio Times says about it) that this week's Primeval isn't just another monster-of-the-week episode.

That would fit with there not being a preview screening for this one.

A Monday, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to put it somewhere around there.

It still amazes me that people in the UK have to find out five days before when something is going to be on the telly!!!!

Sometimes I have to wonder if I'm just out of the loop or if advertisers are really sneaky/dumb

It's a bit of both, really. A lot of the time there are times/dates floating around, they're just not made public until a week or 2 before they air. Other times, especially when it comes to big shows, they don't want to set a confirmed date until the last minute so the schedulers on the other channels can't counter programme and they can have the hour to themselves in the ratings.

guess who has Jelly Babies and 3 new Doctor Who books?

 

[WillsBabe]

I love Jelly Babies. I once had a colleague who kept a bag of Jelly Babies on his desk. Always put me in mind of you-know-who when he offered me one.

 

[wamdue]

I have two backs, for two reasons

1) they were half price

2) incase I eat one bag tonight ill still have some left for tomorrow.

They're gelatine sweets, made sort of in the shape of babies. I suppose you could say similar to gummy bears, but I find they're usually softer than gummy bears.

What kind(s) of flavors? Oops, "flavours"?

Different fruit flavours. They're coloured Red, Green, Black, White, Orange, Yellow, etc. to go with their flavour, generally.

Hmm. They sound interesting. Thank you for the info.

Oh, and here's a pic if you want to see what they look like.

I assume you are aware of why someone might eat Jelly Babies when watching Doctor Who?

The Master also offered his wife a jelly baby in The Sound of the Drums.

 

[Bacl]

I've seen Jelly Babies in specialty shops here in the states. Never tried them, though. Maybe I should I see if I can find a bag to celebrate new Doctor Who episodes...er...episode.

Yes, but I almost equated them with Jelly Beans; however, I knew better than to make an assumption, hence my reason for asking. Unlike most Americans, I have been to different parts of the globe and sampled local treats. We truly get shorted in that department.
